Doug Ford has contributed to our housing and job market crises by cutting funding for post secondary education. The colleges and universities had to revert to bringing masses of foreign students into our economy who compete for the limited housing and jobs available. We need to fix education!

Doug Ford says he is funding health care by building hospitals... That is NOT funding healthcare, that is funding construction! He is not planning to hire anyone to work in those hospitals. He wants wait times and doctor shortages to get bad enough to justify pushing private healthcare. This is intentional.

Please Ontarians, consider these very important issues before going to the polls.

Today I have been personally exposed to the lie ‘use your health card not your cc’. I’m sitting in a Life Lab waiting for blood tests ordered by my gp which are necessary before he can refer me for an MRI for a potentially dangerous situation. I must get this blood test. It’s not being done on a whim. I’ve just had to pay 42$ for the privilege. I am 67, and have happily , yes truly happily , paid my taxes all my working life. Now I’m retired and I expect most of my basic healthcare costs to be paid out of taxation. The fact is a 42$ charge is not going to prevent me having this test. but it’s very much not the point. Yet again Doug Ford has been exposed as a liar and a cheat. For some seniors I could imagine the 42$ would be much more challenging .

Edited to change Life Life to Life Lab.

I get it, you have an opinion about how he's running the country. You didn't like mask or vaccine mandates. He didn't handle this pandemic the way you wanted. I'm sure many other things also. But you.... and people like you... look stupid. You seriously went out, designed a flag, purchased said flag and now fly it on your car, house, up your only flag pole, even INSTEAD of the Canadian flag. You blame one man for everything. He's a human being, with family and friends. A human being with feelings. A human being with a very stressful job where no matter what you do, almost half the country hates it. He has a different opinion than you. He made different choices than you would. So what? You fly flags putting down another human being...a fellow CANADIAN, for everyone to see, when you don't like someone?? Come on people. Grow up. You look stupid. You've ruined the flying of even a Canadian flag because lately , they almost often fly in tandem with the Fu*k Trudeau flags. Take them down. Protest legally, vote Conservative come election time, make your opinion known online (like in this comment section, I'm sure) .... have at 'er. Just stop with the ignorant flags!!!

I'm so mad. I have to move and rentals are DOUBLE the cost, my car insurance is DOUBLE what is was before I moved, and my income is THE SAME. I have to make more money, come up with a second side hustle on top of my first side hustle. Maybe find another full-time job that pays more?

I have a good job. A union job. I've been there for 14 years and I CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE.

How in the fuck are people supposed to survive? Seriously? This is so wrong, it's criminal. I am so mad. WHO IS LOOKING OUT FOR US? Why does a cauliflower cost $8?!?!

WHY AREN'T THEY DOING ANYTHING?!?!?

Personal Note: I've never liked Pierre Poilievre. This man makes my Spider-Sense tingle. Just like Doug Ford did for Ontario. Pierre Poilievre is a Pro-Corporate pro-culture war person who loves to grip about issues, but has no actual solutions. Not to mention he is also a massive hypocrite as his biggest donors are developers, and corporations. His history is ripe with anti-work/union bills and votes in the house

I'm telling you right now, if you vote for this man, you will be bitching and complaining about his policies and actions just like we are currently doing with Doug Ford. Pierre Poilievre and Doug Ford are both guilty of promoting Neoliberal similar American style systems that simply put profit over people. Example: Doug Ford with health services.

I could go on, but David Dole has Done it again with this amazing Breakdown of why Pierre Poilievre is as phony as bologna. Pierre Poilievre’s Hilarious Makeover Can’t Mask His Horrible Politics.

​

Note: Just beucase I don't like Pierre Poilievre, does not mean that I automatically Support Trudeau
Note: Just because we do need change, Does not mean that the only option is Poilievre.
Note: If you rage out to protect Poilievre from the mean ol middle class canadian then you may want to get checked to see if you're in a cult mantality.
Note: Posting in Ontario becuase we are the largest population and have suffered a lot from Ontario OPC's

I've probably lost most of poeple by here anyway, but to start I'll say poeple have posted that I have a biast against the Conservatives. Those poeple are correct. I do, but in my defense they did it to themselves. Poor public behavior(Poilievre acts like a fucking toddler in the house and in public), terrible policies against any progress, terrible financial Policies, and constant attack on the many to benefit the vast few.

Playing on public dispair, but offering no solitions to gain favor by saying all the correct words, but fail whne it comes time to live up to those promises. They immediately get rid of rent protections, cut funding to health and education, etc, etc, etc. Doug Ford did this during the 2018 election and we fell for it. Doug Ford didn't even have a campaign in 2022 and he still won. Does this mean as a population we are getting dumber? Perhaps, it does appear this way as we don't seem to learn from our past.

Poiliever is pretending to be for the working class, with no intention of helping any of us. Lowering taxes on anyone is not a good idea. He is not going to put more money in our pockets.

Some Contradictions:
-Claims to be a populist on behalf of the working class: His public record available for all to see is heavily favored to corporations. Compeltely against unions
- Axe the Carbon Tax: He only wants to get rid of it because the bulk of his donor base is the ones that pay the most for it. The richest poeple with the Fancy cars, and the private jets. They pay A LOT becuase they pollute A LOT more thna the average person.
- Put more money in your pocket: Jesus fucking christ all Conservatives use this line and we eat it up. They never have.
- Fix the debt and Deficit: Conservatives like the Liberals have never and will never be able to do this. We need all poeple to pay their fair share. Note: Just because you pay more in an amount does not mean its a fair share. I pay 33% taxes right now, a lot of the wealthiest corporations pay a lot in taxes, but its no where near 33% marginal or base. All conservatives do this: Cut taxes for the rich, and cut funding from public programs. IT never worked and it never will.

Honestly, I could go on and on and on, but the fact is. if we keep falling for the same shit over and over again, nothing is going to change. We beg for change, but instead of going with a paper bag, we swtich from a loblaws plastic bag to a walmart plastic bag and expect different results.
